  • Spool Locker on a daily driver?

    I'm contemplating putting a spool locker or just welding the diff. spider gears for drift, which is a totally fine idea, but I'm just wondering if any of you have done this with their usual car? I mean, the Camino is gonna be purely for drift, but I would like to use it getting to and from work, and the occasional time I go anywhere, but if it'll be a drastic problem, I'm willing to go with a 1.5 or 2 way Limited Slip

            I have welded over 290 diffs over the past 6 years. They work great for drifting, drag, and playing around. The only downside is making U turns because it chirps the tires.

              looks stock diff. but I haven't had the tiem to really mess with it yet, so it could be posi, who knows? Anyway, I think I'll go positrac for my diff. unless someone else thinks I should go about it differently; not too worried with price since I'm working on getting sponsored by a local spot here; they only have a couple drifers, little 240s and I think one's got an RB26 in it, I dunno, I think they need an American touch.

                Being as you have an older Chevy, shop around and see if you can find yourself a Possi rear end for the thing.

                  gonna go with a spool, but more importantly, what about my fuel delivery? If I stay carbed like I want, I'm gonna have to deal with losing fuel flow in my drift from the weight transfer. I thought about using a boat carb, but that's a bit pricey, and I'm hoping to get it up and going in a few months with about 1200 bucks.
